Gee I wonder why there’s a shortage of air traffic controllers

Kendrick plus the Chiefs getting demolished might make this the best Super Bowl in a long time

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck! Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

While Donald Trump trolls Canadians about annexing Canada, Canadians are in California dropping water on the Los Angeles fires Trump is a disgrace Thank you Canada 🇨🇦

Los Angeles fires

While Los Angeles burns and people point fingers at Democrats, let’s take a moment to appreciate the state’s GOP delegation that fled the state to spend the weekend pledging their loyalty to First Felon Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

My friend Jeff Vespa put this together with his kid’s school. Open today (1/12/25) 10am - 6pm LILA Fire Disaster Distribution Center located at LA River Studios, 2800 Division Street, Los Angeles, CA 90065. Come and get what you need.

Is it just me or does #spotifywrapped seem wrong this year?

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

Have you been here? The view serves as a reminder of what we are working to protect.

So, according to MAGA - Joe Biden pardoning his convicted felon son is disqualifying, but Donald Trump BEING a convicted felon is not? Do I have that about right?

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke

Please read books. I’m begging you.

Did your parents control what you read as a child/teen? Mine did not, and my life was not ruined. I grew up to be an academic librarian.

The bulk of the economic activity generated by the marathon came from visitor spending. 43% of these spectators came from a state outside New England.

I am LOVING that I'm seeing nature photos and books all over my timeline. I hope it stays this way.

My timeline is full of good science, clouds and the occasional cute animal 🙂 I’m not ducking for cover after each post and interacting with actual humans. Order is restored. Long may it continue 🙌🏽

Anyone else feel like we need the prequel to the Handmaids Tale to come out? It seems like these current times would be an appropriate precursor to Gilead.

Welcome to Blue Sky.

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up. Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.

I love that my timeline is full of bookish types again!
